Here is my project:

 

 

I love Halloween and the Fall!  I made a Halloween ornament following instructions from Angie Kennedy Juda's You Tube video.  I just had to do this in Sorbet and Topiary.  The ornament shape is cut out multiple times with the Cricut Artiste Cartridge and then the snowflake "a HOLIDAY TREAT" shape is also cut out multiple times.  I stamped the ornaments in Topiary and the snowflakes in Sorbet.  The center piece is the webtype border from the Philosophy cartridge which I accordian folded.

 

In each petal you will see Sunset Baker's Twine from the Paradise Assortment.  Black Tulle Ribbon is placed throughout and the centerpiece is a large bling button with a green  sparkle in the middle



and a detail shot:

 

 

 

The Back:

The back looks like a flower With the saying A Holiday Treat as the centerpiece.

October Stamp Of the Month - Holiday Magic

Welcome to the October Stamp of the Month (SOTM) Blog Hop! This month's stamp set, Holiday Magic,  is a Limited Edition and contains 18 great stamps!


If you came here from Sarita's Blog you are on the right track. If you would like to see a complete list of SOTM bloggers click here. There are almost sixty consultants who have projects to share with you for September.

I made several cards out of non-traditional paper pack (Sophia) to teach a class on making several cards with minimal amounts of paper and card stock:


The left side is sparkled up, the right side is plain.  Both are made up to look like a present.  The tag and overlay are Art Philosophy cuts!



The background items are small scrap pieces and the sleigh is stamped in black and cut out to be on top of image.  The left shows the card vertically and the right shows the horizontal layout.



The next set is using scraps and a cricut cut stocking which is overstamped.  The snowflake that is held by a brad (sorry, not CTMH brad) is also cut with the Cricut!

The left side has an ornament which came out of a Art Philosophy card cut and which had liquid glass placed in the center and was edged with stardust gel.

I love the precut cards and keep the images that cut in plastic bags to use as embellishments on other cards.  No waste!

The final card set is the tree image.  The left side has a little blingie topper from the bling assortment.

October Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

We are featuring October's SOTM, which is Holiday Warmth, a set of eleven stamps. If you have come here from Jill's Blog, you are on the right path! If this is your first stop, you may want to go back to Jena's Blog and start from the beginning!

This month we have over 60 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations in three blog hops, using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. It is simple to hop along - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go! I tried several shots to get the glitter effect - it really is sparkly!

Materials Used:
Paper: Twilight Cardstock, Sweet Leaf Cardstock
Stamps: October SOTM - Holiday Warmth and C1379 Holiday Commentary
Inks: Sweet Leaf and Twilight
Other: Z553 Glue Pen (allow glue to dry to tacky finish); Z1222 Glitter Rub On Sheets (used green for the tree and blue for the ornaments); Z1220 Glitter Brads - Jolly Assortment; Holiday Collection ribbon; Cuttle bug used on twilight cardstock along with a sanding block

Process: Traced the stamped tree image with the glue pen, allow to dry to tacky, take the green glitter rub on sheet and lay over the tree image, rub glitter onto tree with stick - the tackiness of the glue will grab the glitter. Repeat process with the ornaments and blue glitter.
